Tell us why you are moving….In a few words tell us why you are personally moving for racial justice. Feel free to let your heart speak.
I cycled for change. We need to guarantee the “liberty and justice for all” that we repeatedly pledge. It is our patriotic duty to be “one nation” and not a country divided into a hierarchy of white supremacy. I cycled, pondered and prayed that we all become the patriots we proclaim to be and truly […]
It’s an ongoing battle that must be fought until the war on injustice is won!!! To God be the glory!!!
As a household we move for racial justice and walk in faith for change. As we move for racial justice, we remember our ancestors, their sweat, blood, tears and cries. They helped pave the way for us through their fervent prayers, strength, faith in God, hope, and steadfastness. They journeyed on so that a better […]
I walk for racial justice on hopes that this journey will one day be over, we must march /walk until journey is won, we need justice in our community, and all around the world and not just when tragic events happen, I will walk for those that are not here to walk for themselves, I […]
Even though we have been on this journey for hundreds of years, we must continue to march on until the battle for justice, equality and equity is won! VOTE! Wendy Fields
I work as a career coach and manager in Kalamazoo, MI and am training for my first ultra marathon, 34 miles. I thought this would be a great way to motivate me to complete my training miles and run for a cause I care about. I have been wearing my Ahmaud Arbery bib many runs […]
We walk for justice because it is the right thing to do. We need justice in our community, we need justice in our country and we need justice across the world. A just society is a promise of hope, we need hope if we are to achieve the god given potential for each and […]
I walk for racial justice because I simply have to. There’s no valid or legitimate reason for me not to. How can I not walk in resistance to the things that hold black and brown people in bondage. Some sat down at lunch counters, while others rode buses to help establish our freedom, so what […]
I’m not getting enough exercise during COVID. Too many zoom meetings and emails! But the ISAAC Virtual Journey helps me get moving. Being able to show my ISAAC Beloved CommunityT-shirt wherever I go, and logging my miles when I get home, and joining everyone here in collective action for racial justice–is very motivating for me. […]
I have been running since 1970; this is my 50th year. In reflecting all my running experiences, I have reflected on all the unknown routes I tackled with little regard to my safety. Dogs maybe, not people. I fondly recall when I launched from the campus of the University of Toronto and ran to the […]
My daughter, Annalise, and I walk to shine light on and share conversation about dismantling structural racism. “Racism is a lie about our fellow human beings for it says that some are less than others. It is also a lie about God … Because of our Biblical understanding of who God is and what God […]
I walked for racial justice, for being present as the NAACP travelers put their feet in the waters of the river by Assin-Manso in Ghana. At Yom Kippor, we reflect: If I have harmed you knowingly- or unknowingly. I walk to continue my awareness and action. Robin Pollens
It’s time to change the world. We have talked, listened and we have information that will cause us to see things different. Yes, the world has changed and we can’t, and don’t want to go back. Lindy and i are walking for change and for a better world. The time is now, we can be […]
I walk because I speak loud and clear for Racial Justice. I walk so other will know my purpose is for racial equality. I walk for the those who can’t speak for themselves. I walk for the good trouble!!!! Sheila Takyi
The reason that I’m moving or not moving today is thanks to others. It is important to always remember the people that come before us and moved the world to a better place. Some more prominent figures like Cesar Chaves and less prominent but as important like parents they all play a roll where we’re […]
Against racial injustice in all forms. That’s what I am going to do. I am making my efforts by walking WMU’s track on my way to DC virtually. Charlotte Ojediran-Whitfield
I started this journey as a white woman with the intention of taking this Issac opportunity to examine and think about the racism in me, in society, and the institutions that shaped my development as a white person. I’m sharing my walks and thoughts with friends or family members who join me on these walks, […]
At Unity Kalamazoo Labyrinth Rev. Joslyn Mason
60 years ago the civil rights struggle angered and inspired me. I rebelled against my Republican roots because I realized that the conservative philosophy was only an excuse for inaction. I thought Racial justice would happen because it was so obviously the right thing. Now I don’t have much time left for it to happen, […]
I am walking for racial justice this year because fairness is foundational. Systemic racism is not fair. White privilege is not fair. At my core, I believe in fairness. I would love to see us build the Beloved Community, starting small and spreading throughout the world but as a start: let us create fairness. Barb […]
